  • Patent number: 11967092
    Abstract: A system and method for detection-guided tracking of human-dynamics is provided. The system receives an input human-dynamics sequence including geometry information and an RGB video of a human object. The system inputs the RGB video to the neural network and estimates a pose of the human object in each frame of the RGB video based on output of the neural network for the input. The system selects, from the input human-dynamics sequence, a key-frame for which the estimated pose is closest to a reference human pose. From the selected key-frame and up to a number of frames of the input human-dynamics sequence, the system generates a tracking sequence for a 3D human mesh of the human object. The generated tracking sequence includes final values of parameters of articulate motion and non-rigid motion of the 3D human mesh. Based on the generated tracking sequence, the system generates a free-viewpoint video.

  • Patent number: 11961266
    Abstract: A neural human performance capture framework (MVS-PERF) captures the skeleton, body shape and clothes displacement, and appearance of a person from a set of calibrated multiview images. It addresses the ambiguity of predicting the absolute position in monocular human mesh recovery, and bridges the volumetric representation from NeRF to animation-friendly performance capture. MVS-PERF includes three modules to extract feature maps from multiview images and fuse them to a feature volume, regress the feature volume to a naked human parameters vector, generating an SMPL-X skin-tight body mesh with a skeletal pose, body shape, and expression, and leverage a neural radiance field and a deformation field to infer the clothes as the displacement on the naked body using differentiable rendering. Clothed body mesh is obtained by adding the interpolated displacement vectors to the SMPL-X skin-tight body mesh vertices. The obtained radiance field is used for free-view volumetric rendering of the input subject.
